Big Fonts in Web Design

Ad

Web design has its own limitation, and us, web designers, have been working and learning how to overcome these constraints to create better solutions. Typography is our most important asset and we're seeing that designers are applying old concepts that they've learned from print design and applying to web design, in the right way. That's why we've been seeing more and more big contrasts in font sizes.

In this post we selected some pages that we have for inspiration to show you that.

I've been working in a project of a responsive website and for me to accomplish that I need lots of research and references. And by this time I can say I've seen some pretty poorly developed responsive sites out there, while some really stand out.
I've noticed that good responsive is not only the ones that will fit in any screen, but will also adapt its content to keep it readable, accessible for the user. It's no use making elements really tiny to fit the screen but losing your customer's interest in the process.

It's awesome to see web design moving towards the editorial design and also how motion design has huge impact in todays design in general. The Herman Miller redesign concept is an awesome example of beautiful typography, imagery and of course subtle animations to create an elegant and engaging experience.

Independent Brands, I feel there so many out there nowadays. Free from the outside and happily working without a hassle at making their own trademark which is a very good thing. The old days when only big brands were ruling are gone. Part of the brand process, one of the many crucial things to associate with to your product is your site. If your customers/target audience doesn't know what your product is all about after a few seconds then all your efforts are worthless at this point.

Simplicity never fails when it comes to design. Print, web, industrial design it does not matter the field, that is a goal every designer should have in mind to reach it. The Supra Footwear Website by Turuğshan Turna illustrates that very well with beautiful imagery and bold typography thanks to the classic look of AvantGarde and Futura fonts. Take a look after the break and let us know what you think.
